MY MOVIE REVIEW
The story is good but the movie didn’t give much excitement that I expected even with all the action scenes. I guess this is very common for movies based from comic books where everything must me squeezed in less than two hours. I am not expecting any sequel for this movie as this received a pretty bad review from many people. This is a must for Marvel fans but not really worth the money.More…
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Sometimes a movie fails and succeeds at the same time. Because by any real-world standard, this is a stupid piece of junk. But it’s very good at being a stupid piece of junk, if for no other reason than the insane premise and for being kind of a window into Cage’s bizarro soul: the strange, borderline-Liza Minnelli wig he’s wearing; the immobile face that defies plastic surgery accusations because for all we know he injects it with some kind of exotic snake venom to freeze the forehead muscles — you know, as an acting choice — before the director yells, “Action!”; and the Elvis-isms. So many of those happening. It adds up to nonstop fascination if you’re paying attention to the right details.
RATING
3 out of 5 (5 = best). Spiderman movies are way better than this.
